Benefits 

Three Calcium Sources

• Calcium Carbonate: This calcium is highly concentrated, providing significant elemental calcium per dose. It supports strong bones and teeth, ensuring your pets maintain optimal skeletal health.

• Calcium Lactate: Easily absorbed by the body, calcium lactate helps improve muscle function and nerve transmission of your furry friend during labor.

• Calcium Gluconate: This form is gentle on the stomach, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal upset while delivering essential calcium to support overall health and vitality.

MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides)

• Enhances Mental Alertness: MCTs are a type of fat that is rapidly absorbed and converted into energy, promoting mental clarity and alertness. This is particularly beneficial for pets undergoing the stress of labor, helping them stay focused and calm.

Vitamin D3

• Facilitates Effective Calcium Absorption: Vitamin D3 plays a vital role in the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract. Ensuring efficient calcium uptake helps maintain optimal levels of this mineral in the bloodstream, supporting bone health and muscle function.

Convenient Gel Form

• Easy to Administer: The gel form is designed for easy oral administration. It can be given directly into the pet's mouth. The gel format allows for precise dosing, ensuring your pets receive the exact amount of supplementation they need.
